Orange Lamborghini hurracan last night @6:15 ish on the A20 coast bound near the M25 junction

They look like nothing else on the road!

I was following a grey Golf with an orange Pistonheads sticker (reg ending ZFK) earlier today down Seven Mile Lane. Anyone on here?

Few interesting ones for me today : light blue Fiat 500 (classic) and a black XJS Coupe near M25 / A13 junction then a white R8 shortly after, 17:30 ish.

Yellow Lambo Murci heading out of town at Barking earlier in the day. Then off patch in Greenwich a light blue Tuscan, some pork and a grey Merc G55 AMG and a regular black G Wagon in E London.

Finally some yank iron coming down the A130 - hot rods and a GTO. Lastly a very clean D reg Mk3 Escort on the way back into Chelmsford.

Blue TVR Tuscan in the M&S BP station off the A120 in Braintree last night, looked great

White Megane Sport with a PH smiley in the back window on the M25 today, just after J2 southbound. I passed in the white GT86. Hello

[Martin350]

Last night on Stone Street heading out of Maidstone town centre - classic Mini, dark green with Minilites, roll cage, turbo engine and straight cut gears.

Looked and sounded like a lot of fun!

Did you see any of the number plate?

[Martin350]

No, I didn't catch that.

It had 10" Minilites, body colour arch extensions and a Mk1 grille, but may have been a later car.

I think it had a black roof.

It looked immaculate.

[jammy_basturd]

Ah, I used to own a similar Mini, but with Old English White roof. I know it's still in the area too.

I followed a dark green classic mini through Walderslade area this morning.

I didn't look at the number plate to clock the age, but I did notice that it had a retro RC40 style Exhaust. Why only that stuck in my memory - I have no idea.

Black CX7 in Notcutts this morning with a red smiley on the back.

If it was the same one as I saw last night I'm sure you would have heard the straight cut gears and the dump valve, it was (in a good way) rather noisy!

For feck sake don't tell her this - but I was half-listening to Mrs H nattering away about something or other.

But, it wasn't pressing on in any manner that made me think 'hello!' and pay more attention. But I assume its a metro turbo type 1275 conversion then?

M400 AWL.

Roxwell Road, Chelmsford.

[Martin350]

Yesterday around 5:45pm I saw an early 1980's Chrysler Alpine, light brown with off white plastic bumpers near Marden.

About 10 minutes later a light blue TVR Chimaera near Linton. I really want one of those!

Then around 9:30pm an old, small open top little sports car, possibly bare aluminium bodied, heading into Maidstone on the A229.
I remembered the number plate and it comes up as an Austin Gilston Special.
I can't even find any images resembling it online.

[Martin350]

And around 9:45pm today a 1940's or maybe 1950's bare and tatty looking bodyshell on a flatbed heading out of Maidstone on the Loose Road.

I think it might have been a Lanchester but with no wheels, radiator grille, bumpers or trim it was hard to tell.

I imagined that it was being taken somewhere to be restored to former glory and enjoyed once again.
I certainly hope that's the case.

I'm currently sat behind a silver Clio in Sevenoaks with a PH smiley in the back window. I'm a passenger in a work car so no point waving!

Dark Grey Gallardo, I am sure it's the same one that took my nephew out when he visited the Essex meet. Plate was LA11MBO. A12/A130 junction around lunchtime.

Black and White X bow in Wickford 10 mins ago.

stty weather to be driving an X Bow about in at the moment.

Not much interesting for me this week so, although saw a Ferrari 550 near Great Leighs earlier & overtook a 2CV / Dyanne 6 on the A130 this morning on the way to Braintree.
